We were practically dry humping on the dance floor anyway and as much as I would love to drag Amelie off somewhere to finish what she started, I need a drink more, so I drag her back to our VIP seats and order us up several rounds of shots.
We’re about halfway down them when Branson turns up. Oh goodie, he got my text. Amelie lights up when she sees him.
“Batman! What are you doing here?”
Maybe it was a mistake to invite him. Sober, the guy is actually growing on me. Pissed, I hate the way my girl is so happy to see him. Especially when my cock is aching to be buried inside her. I want her to be all smiles and laughter for me. Not him.
“Hey Baxter, I dare you to show everyone our matching BFF piercings!” I call to him as I drain more shots. Adrianne joins us from wherever she’s been dancing and passes me another drink.
“Cheers,” I say, surprised. I may be semi-wasted but I know this kindness is out of character.
“Let’s call a truce for Amelie’s sake. Turns out I actually like this job, and I like her as more than a boss, so I don’t wanna fuck this one up. Which means getting along with you.”
“Awww, shucks, c’mere!” I grab her before she can protest, pulling her into a big bear hug and glancing over her head to see if Amelie is jealous. She’s beaming at me like I just made her day.
I yank up my shirt to flash my nipple piercing at her and when she giggles and stares expectantly at Branson, he curses me but copies my actions.
Amelie stares in disbelief and then cracks up laughing.
“So that’s it? You guys really are besties now? I’m hurt. There was me thinking we’d be getting matching Batman and Robin tattoos.”
Branson doesn’t say anything but he turns on the spot and pulls his shirt right up, exposing his shoulders. There, on his right shoulder blade, is a Batman tattoo.
Amelie gasps, then her jaw hangs open in shock. Jealousy prickles all along my skin. She reaches out to run her fingers along it, eyes sparkling with emotion, and I growl. Okay, I probably sound more like Momo than the Alsatian outside, but that’s not the point. I will piss on her leg to mark my territory if I have to; she thought it was cute when Momo did it.
I slap her fingers away from his skin and glare at him. Fucking Batman. It’s stupid anyway. Everyone knows the Marvel Universe is better than DC. I dare anyone to fight me on it.
I snatch up the remaining drinks on the table and polish those off too.
“If you like ink so damn much, Amelie, I’ll get your name tattooed along my monster cock. It’s long enough that ‘property of Kalen’s sister’ will fit nicely.”
Chapter Sixteen
Amelie
Honestly, trying to get Kalen in the car to go home is harder than wrestling a croc during mating season. I don’t understand how someone can be so stubborn, unyielding and stiff, yet at the same time go limp and turn to jelly. He’s impossible to manoeuvre, and when our driver fails to turn off the radio in time, Kalen yells, “I fucking love this song! Dance with me, sis!” and turns into a hyperactive squid on speed. I swear he grows extra limbs because every time one of us manages to stuff one inside the car, another pops back out in its place.
He’s a nightmare, but I’m not much help either because I’m laughing so hard tears are rolling down my face and I can’t see shit.
I yawn, and Kalen turns his attention to me.
“Yawning is like the body’s version of a twenty percent battery warning.”
“Thanks for that Kalen, any other helpful little tidbits you want to share?” I snigger.
“Your eyelids lick your eyes to keep them moist. Lots of people hate the word moist but really they should love it. Your teeth are warm,” he slurs. “And you just checked them with your tongue. But you need to use your finger. It’s one of the few times it’s actually better.”
“Fuck this shit!” Onyx snaps, dragging Kalen back out of the limo that we used to transport all of us.
“Hey! I nearly had him in then,” Elsie cries angrily.
“She touched my cock!” Kalen crows. “My sister’s gonna kill you.”
“Not your sister, Kalen.”
“Actually, she’s gonna kill me. It’s getting hard. I’m sorry! It’s been so long since anyone touched it and it’s got a mind of its own! It’s a monster.”
“Kalen, I didn’t touch your damn cock!” Elsie snaps.
